UNSPSC 72141204: Dock construction service

The building and repair of docks owned by others

UNSPSC 72141204 Dock construction service is a Commodity code encompassing the design, construction, repair, and replacement of waterfront dock structures—floating docks, fixed piers, boardwalks, and associated infrastructure—that state and local governments procure to maintain public waterfront access, recreational boating facilities, and fisheries infrastructure. Recent solicitations show counties, cities, and special-purpose authorities actively bidding dock replacement and rehabilitation projects ranging from single-facility repairs to multi-site marine construction contracts. Work includes pile installation and jacketing, concrete and timber decking, ADA accessibility upgrades, floating dock segments with pontoons and pile guides, electrical and plumbing systems, environmental compliance, and demolition of deteriorated structures. The code draws activity from waterfront jurisdictions across multiple states and overlaps with allied work such as boardwalk installation, boating-access improvements, and floating-launch facilities.

Recent activity spans Florida (St. Pete Beach, Brevard County, Pinellas County, Chatham County, Escambia County, City of Cocoa, Long Beach, and Andrews Wildlife Management Area), Georgia (Stonecrest, DeKalb County, Chatham County), South Carolina (Beaufort County), Connecticut (Town of Cheshire, Town of Stonington), Mississippi (Ocean Springs), Oregon (Lane County via Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife), Texas (Brazos River Authority, Cove Harbor, Palacios), and other coastal jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources' Ocean Springs Harbor Project (IFB #3160008290, bids due November 17, 2026) covering bulkhead, finger pier, boardwalk, electrical, and parking improvements; the Town of Cheshire, Connecticut's Mixville Park pedestrian bridge and platforms project (RFB #2627-05, bids due November 3, 2026); Chatham Area Transit Authority's ferry dock and shelter design-build at Plant Riverside in Savannah (RFP PE33123NONST2027000000011, proposals due November 6, 2026); Glynn County's East Beach Massengale Park boardwalk construction (IFB27-011, bids due November 4, 2026); and multiple Florida fishing-pier rehabilitation projects including Escambia County's Bob Sikes Fishing Pier South (ITB PD2526089 and re-solicitation PD2526107, federal RESTORE/Davis-Bacon funding) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Andrews dock replacement at Levy County (ITB FWC 25.26.109C, bids due August 27, 2026). Bidders typically face compliance requirements including prevailing wage (Davis-Bacon on federal-aid projects), Buy America provisions on infrastructure-funded work, environmental permits (Army Corps of Engineers, state water management, EPA Clean Water Act), and performance/payment bonds at 100 percent of contract value. Counties and cities dominate issuing-body volume, with state natural-resources agencies and transit authorities representing secondary activity. Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Connecticut show the densest recent concentration.
